It has some fixes in that area. > bash-2.05a$ touch /tmp/foo > bash-2.05a$ mv /tmp/foo . > mv: ./foo: set owner/group (was: 3830/0): Operation not permitted > bash-2.05a$ ls foo > foo Autoconf 2.54 doesn't do that. Instead, it does something like this: tmp=$TMPDIR/cs123456 (umask 077 && mkdir $tmp) || exit touch /tmp/foo mv /tmp/foo . Does this work around the problem for FreeBSD? If not, is there some command you can issue after the mkdir but before the touch, which will fix the problem? > Other than setting TMPDIR is there a way to quiet these messages? One possibility is to use GNU mv rather than BSD mv.
